In L'affirmation de soi chez les historiens, Cristian Bratu discusses authorial self-representations and self-promotion strategies in the works of ancient and medieval historians, from Herodotus (5th c. BC) to Philippe de Commynes (15th c. AD). After describing the emergence of an author figure in the works of ancient Greek and Roman historians, Bratu shows that, in spite of the emphasis placed by the nascent Christian civilization on humility, medieval historians were anything but self-effacing. Subsequently, he focuses on the authorial figures of French medieval historians who wrote in the vernacular between the 12th and 15th centuries. Bratu uses a variety of approaches (philology, codicology, narratology) in order to shed new light on the authorial figures of ancient and medieval historians.
Dans L'affirmation de soi chez les historiens, Cristian Bratu etudie la figure de l'auteur dans les oeuvres des historiens antiques et medievaux, d'Herodote (Ve siecle av. J.-C.) a Philippe de Commynes (XVe siecle ap. J.-C.). Apres une section dediee a l'emergence d'une figure d'auteur chez les historiens de l'Antiquite greco-romaine, Bratu montre que malgre l'importance accordee a l'humilite dans la civilisation chretienne naissante, les historiens medievaux furent tout sauf modestes. Cette etude se concentre ensuite sur les figures des historiens de langue francaise entre le XIIe et le XVe siecle. En s'appuyant sur differentes methodes (philologie, codicologie, narratologie), Cristian Bratu apporte un eclairage nouveau sur la figure de l'auteur chez les historiens antiques et medievaux.
